mustard seed of magic review

Once you've met Tish Sterling, you can't let her go. The fourth book in her series is as intriguing as the others, although I was disappointed by the ending, which left her relationship with Ken up in the air. The real shock, of course, comes in book five, which is from the point of view of Tish's niece, Saranne. Overall, I love Johnston's writing, her poignant phrases and insight into family life and struggles common to all kids. Despite the drama (sometimes melodrama), it is a book I read over and over again.

You'll never forget it.

This series starts with The Keeping Days, there are 5 books in this series. I read these books over 20 years ago (when I was 14) and they are still my favorite books. I wish that I could find all of the books in print to give to my two daughters. Intelligent, yet romantic look at a family in 1920's Yonkers. It is a series that you will cherish forever, never want to give away, and read again and again.
